history

In the early Middle Ages, the place belonged to the hinterland of the Great Moravian castle center Pohansko (north of Břeclav ). After its decline at the beginning of the 10th century, a central settlement with an agrarian, craft and mercantile character developed on site , which flourished until the 12th century.

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1348 when Margrave Jobst of Moravia acquired the Týnec estate with the villages of Tvrdonice, Kostice, Dluhonice, Hrušky, Lanžhot and the town of Týnec . After numerous changes of ownership, Karl Eusebius von Liechtenstein acquired the rule in 1638. Up until the 17th century, hostile armies often invaded the country via the Marchfurt near Brodské. The area between Kostice, Tvrdonice and Lanžhot was considered an open gate to Moravia, and the three villages regularly suffered from the war people. In 1845 school lessons began in Kostice.

After the abolition of patrimonial Kostice / Kostitz formed a community in the Hodonín district from 1850 . In 1874 a cemetery was created. In 1883 the school moved into a new building. A new schoolhouse was built in 1910. The town hall was built in 1925. In 1945 the community was assigned to the Okres Břeclav. The village has always been parish after Tvrdonice . Since 2004 the community has had a coat of arms and a banner. An oil and gas reservoir extends northwest of the village . To the north and south are vineyards and orchards.
